Getting Ready for Open Studios

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. Between the times of moving and traveling, my favorite time was to gather inspirations for my pieces and construct the colors in my mind. So I can say that all my new works are colors I collected from Hawaii, Greece, Arizona and of course California. Here are some process scenes from new Open Studio collections that will be on air on May 4th 11AM.

1. Daydreaming Series

Conducting several color test is my usual process. It gives me time to think about the balance and the chemistry of each colors. This will be the biggest piece from this collection.

I love the warm colors I see around my apartment

Warm daylight and the slow loving of California lead me to this dreamy colors.

There are thoughts and emotions while painting and I prefer writing down as a journal on different paper when I work

2. Muted Light Series

I believe one of my my favorite moment during traveling is at night. Sometimes I just like to open the window and feel the air. And you feel that the smell is little different from your home. When I inhale the breeze and cold air run though the nose, I smell hint of wet grass, some unknown flower and deep soil. It just feels good. This is the blurry memory of quiet nights.

3. Nature Presented as Craft

One of my challenge for this Open Studio was to present "Mosaic as Craft" for the first time. Preserving nature colors in such small space seemed challenging for me at first. However when I start collecting colors from my past travel journal, there were just so many of them! My very first mosaic craft series includes, macrame hangings, chokers and magnets.
